The primary mechanism {{IMSMANG}} uses for sharing information is the data entry form. Data entry forms contain the vast majority of {{IMSMANG}} data and are the sole repository for entering operational information into the system. So, exporting and importing data entry forms let information managers easily share information between {{IMSMANG}} systems and other {{IMSMANG}} tools such as {{IMSMANG}} IMSMA Remote Entry. Information managers can share large or small amounts of data directly with other {{IMSMANG}} users whether they are working together in the same programme or in separate countries.

{{IMSMANG}} supports the export of auxillary data and map data, but this information cannot be imported back into an {{IMSMANG}} system. Instead these exports provide external tools such as {{IMSMANG}} IMSMA Remote Entry with the information to support data entry form data entry. Auxiliary Data tend to include auxillary data such as ordnance or country structure information. Moreover, they should always be exported in a maXML format.
